Thanksgiving Cooking Classes for Everyone (Including Tofurky Fans)

CozyFallDinner.jpgWooden Spoon: The Thanksgiving Cliff Notes class will leave you with a veritable Plymouth feast. This $65 class will focus on stuffing, a vegetable, and cranberry sauce, but you'll also help put together the turkey with gravy and, of course, pumpkin pie.
Tuesday, November 17 at 6:30pm
5047 N. Clark / 773.293.3190

Chopping Block: The Chopping Block has something for everyone this holiday. The following classes are all located at the Lincoln Square location (4747 N. Lincoln / 773.472.6700), but their Merchandise Mart spot offers classes, too. Prices range from $25 to $100:

Sunday, November 15 from 10am-2:30pm: Thanksgiving Crash Course

Gallery 37 Center for the Arts: Gallery 37 is participating in the World Kitchen Series and is offering a $30 Traditional Thanksgiving class - one of the best deals in town. With turkey, gravy, dressing, and sides on the menu, the day couldn't get any more traditional.
Saturday, November 21 from 11am-2pm
66 E. Randolph / 312.742.8497

Sur la Table: So I can't say that my family typically serves Dungeness Crab and Heirloom Bean Brandade, and Roast Turkey Breast Stuffed with Sausage, Fennel and Raisins on Thanksgiving. But, hello - YUM. If nothing else, you'll impress your guests with ingredients they've never heard of. Here are two upcoming classes - both $69 - that will help with your Turkey Day prep:
Friday, November 19 at 6:30pm: Everything But the Turkey
Saturday, November 20 at 6:30pm: All-American Thanksgiving (which includes the aforementioned deliciousness)
